I am staying up ALL NIGHT tonight, to achieve the appropriate levels of blinding tiredness that will facilitate 13 hours on the plane passing in deep slumber. Expect the LAST POST OF THE YEAR in a few hours.
On an unrelated note, it has always distressed me that nickels are larger than dimes, and 10p coins are larger than 20p ones. A sure sign that something in the cosmic scheme has gone awry, that.
Also, "awry" is an amusing word. I must resist the temptation to pronounce it "or-ry", and sound like a complete dork.
